Blinded Dreams Chapter 24. New Place
24. New PlaceWynter was taken aback by what Shadrach was about to say. Yes, she wanted him to finish those words; she hoped they were what she thought they were, but he had paused mid-sentence. When Wynter reached her new home and was done settling things, she immediately called Shadrach to confront him. Shadrach realized he was on the verge of saying "I love you" to Wynter, but he stopped just before the words could escape his lips. When Shadrach fell silent, Wynter leaned back in the chair and whispered, “You were saying something, Shadrach.” She encouraged him with her words, eager for him to continue. “Hmmm… I—I was saying…” Shadrach stuttered, caught in his hesitation. “You were saying?” Wynter pressed, her anticipation growing. “I—I miss you,” he finally said, altering his original sentiment. It wasn’t a lie, but he wished he could express his feelings differently and reveal what he truly wanted to say.Wynter felt a wave of disappointment wash over her. She had hoped Shad

25. Between Friends"Hey!" Wynter waved excitedly when she spotted Shadrach standing in the park, waiting for her and playing with Bella's leash. She reciprocated his actions with a smile.When Shadrach heard Wynter's voice, a big smile formed on his lips. He quickly turned around, standing precisely in her direction. He wished he knew exactly where she was standing so he could run towards her and hug her tightly to his chest. He hoped that Wynter would take the initiative instead, but instead, she came and stood right in front of him. Wynter felt a little hesitant, but she wanted to hug him and express her feelings once and for all. So, she did the next thing that felt appropriate—she held Shadrach's hand as she stood by his side."How are you, Shad?" Wynter asked, noticing how he seemed once again oblivious about his appearance. His beard had outgrown itself once more.Yeah, Shadrach had that shoulder-length hair that really suited him! But sometimes Wynter couldn’t help but wonder

26. First Kiss“Shit!” Wynter cursed under her breath. She had been stuck in traffic for an hour. On her way to pick up Shadrach, she felt like she had already wasted enough time getting everything in place. The thought that Shadrach might be waiting for her near the park worried her.She kept honking at the cars in front of her, but they didn’t budge. It was unusual to see traffic in that area, but it seemed like there was an emergency, which explained the delay.Finally, after another fifteen minutes, the road began to clear. Wynter quickly drove to the park and spotted Shadrach waiting for her at the entrance.Shadrach's ears perked up when he recognized the sound of Wynter's car. She called out through the window, “Hey, sorry, I’m late! Come on, get in.” Shadrach hopped inside, and as soon as Bella recognized Wynter, she quickly entered the backseat. As usual, Shadrach sat in the front with Wynter.“What took you so long?” Shadrach asked once he was settled in, and Wynter revved t

27. Shocking RevelationWynter was stunned when Shadrach captured her lips in a kiss, pouring all his emotions into that one moment. She was taken aback by the suddenness of it, but as she registered what was happening, she began to respond with equal excitement, matching his moves and releasing all the emotions she had buried inside.This was exactly what she needed—a boost to finally express what was in her heart. Soon, they were both lost in a beautiful sensation that was hard to put into words. Wynter's hands tangled in Shadrach's hair as she pulled him closer. As Shadrach savored the taste of her lips, she tasted like vanilla cupcakes, likely due to the lipstick she had applied.The moment grew intense as they both fought for dominance, exploring each other's mouths. In the heat of the moment, Shadrach bit Wynter's lip, making her gasp. He seized the opportunity to plunge his tongue into her mouth, their tongues clashing as they vied for control. It was unlike anything Wynter had

28. The Weight of Secrets"You're pregnant?" Shadrach exclaimed in astonishment.He could sense her body; he could feel every inch of her in his hands. As if to confirm his doubts, a small kick emerged from Wynter's stomach, solidifying Shadrach's realization. He was left speechless, and Wynter's deafening silence spoke volumes. All the events of the past began to dawn on him—how he had noticed Wynter's pregnancy signs but had mistaken them for her being a curvaceous woman, simply blessed in all the right places. Now, he understood that her weight gain was due to the pregnancy.Stunned into silence, he felt a wave of betrayal wash over him. It was as if Wynter had taken advantage of him—not in a malicious way, but more like she had made a fool of him, mocking him for being so blind to the truth.For the first time in a long while, Shadrach felt disabled and sad about his lack of sight. If only he had his vision, Wynter wouldn’t have hidden anything from him, and he would have known t

29. Reckless Wynter woke up to the sound of monitors beeping beside her. A fresh wave of dizziness hit her as soon as she opened her eyes, and her head began to ache as it tried to adjust to the sudden flash of light."Miss King, you’re awake?" Wynter's doctor said, noticing that her eyes were open. She wanted to step out and inform Wynter's family about the news, but she decided to speak to Wynter first to assess her condition.Wynter stared at the doctor, and as she adjusted to her surroundings, her first thought was about her child.A sense of fear crawled into her mind, and she quickly placed a hand on her stomach. She breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that her baby was safe."Is he alright?" Wynter quickly asked, wanting to confirm with the doctor that everything was okay."Yes, Wynter, the baby is fine," Doctor Linda assured her. "Do you want me to inform your family now, or should I do that after we have a small discussion?""Did they bring me here?" Wynter asked in

30. Fear Of LoosingWynter's POVI was shocked when I saw Shadrach's call. Although I had anticipated his call many times, I didn’t expect him to call this late at night. I just hoped everything was fine with him.When I picked up the phone, the ground seemed to move beneath my feet as I heard he was at the clinic with Bella, who needed my attention as soon as possible. I ditched the dinner I was having and quickly started heading outside when Mama Iris and Dad stopped me.“Princess, are you alright? Where are you going? You seem worried,” Dad asked.“There’s an emergency. I’ll come back and have my dinner. I’m going to the clinic,” I informed them, hoping to ease their worries about my whereabouts.“Baby, at least tell us what happened,” Mama Iris demanded.“There’s a pet that needs my attention. She’s only used to me, so I’ll be back before you guys even notice,” I briefed them again.“Is it Bella?” Mama Iris asked, squinting her eyes at me.I still can’t fathom how she can read me

31. MisunderstandingsWynter was devastated by Shadrach's reaction, and she worried that he might have misinterpreted her friendship with Ethan as something more. She wanted to run after him, but Wynter had been warned to stop right there, so she let him go. However, she knew that Shadrach would return the next day since Bella was still in the hospital. She even doubted whether he had gone to see someone or if he just wanted to get away from her. Nevertheless, she understood that he needed peace, so she decided to back down. But she planned to return the next day to clarify the whole situation with him.The night was agonizing for Wynter. When she returned, everyone was fast asleep, and she didn’t want to disturb anyone. Instead, she spent the night twisting and turning in her bed.Even in her severe condition, where she wasn't allowed to step a foot outside her home, Wynter managed to convince her parents one more time that she had to go out today, promising to rest afterward.On he

Blinded Dreams Chapter 69. Old Enemies
69. Old EnemiesWynter's POVWhen I opened my eyes, I found myself tied to a chair. My hands and legs were bound tightly, and my mouth was gagged, making it impossible to speak.I tried to piece together what had happened. The phone call with Ethan... the men barging into the clinic... being dragged out at gunpoint. I remembered trying to resist, only to be struck with the barrel of a gun, everything going black after that.Now, I was here, in complete darkness, unable to make out my surroundings. I tried to scream, but the gag muffled any sound I made.My eyes adjusted to the dim light and wandered toward the darkest corner of the room. I squinted, focusing hard. Someone was seated there, in the shadows. I couldn’t make out their face or even discern if it was a man or a woman.Then, the figure stood and began walking toward me. The sound of their shoes clicking against the floor echoed in the silence, sending a chill down my spine. I squinted harder, and when they stepped into the f
Blinded Dreams Chapter 68. Kidnapped

I really owe you for this one," I said earnestly over the phone, my voice thick with gratitude.Mr. King had just forwarded the proof I desperately needed to confirm my suspicions. My uncles were behind my parents’ murder. I hadn’t expected him to uncover the truth so quickly, but the detailed statements he had sent via email were undeniable.He explained that he had used his connections in Chicago to pressure the burglars, who were serving life sentences for the crime. Originally, they had claimed the murders were accidental—that they’d entered our home for a robbery and killed my family when confronted. But under Mr. King’s pressure, they admitted the truth: my uncles had bribed them to carry out the killings."As long as my daughter is happy with you, you don’t owe me anything," Mr. King replied in his deep, authoritative voice. Yet, beneath his calm tone, there was an unspoken warning that sent a chill through me."I promise I wil

67. Back To ManhattanOn their way back to Manhattan, Wynter couldn’t stop marveling at her engagement ring. She kept stealing glances at it, her eyes sparkling with excitement.“Mama Iris is going to be so shocked!” Wynter exclaimed as they passed through the bustling streets of the city.Shadrach, focused on the road, glanced at her and smiled warmly. “Maybe that’s the kind of shock your father needs to reassure him that I don’t plan on leaving your side anytime soon,” he chuckled.Wynter turned to him, curiosity brimming in her eyes. “Speaking of Dad, how did your meeting with him go? What did he say? I know he can be... intimidating.” Her words came out in a rush, barely giving her time to breathe.“Breathe, Griz. Take it easy,” Shadrach laughed. “I won’t lie, though—your dad is very intimidating. He’s got this aura, like he’s some mafia boss and not a CEO. Are you sure he’s not into something... shady?” He teased, though his tone carried genuine intrigue.Wynter let out a small l
